Mainstream media didn't cover it, however the first thing did Bush did the day after the election is tell congress the Deficit Cap had to be raised.
When you have the fox news filter running in the US, and the rest of the world gets to see the news... It's unbelievable what is going on.

JUST WAIT until Opec changes from the Dollar to the Euro for Oil Sales. US = 3rd world status pretty fast.
Oil right now is ~50US, if it goes to 50E, that means 1 barrel now is 50 * 1.3 = 65US. By the end of Bush's term... everything Clinton and Gore did will be long history...
Stand up and salute Bush, US empire is falling fast as is it's "global standing".
It's going to get worse with the FCC letting a few guys control all the media in the US.
